"That experience" properly refers to his "ever [having] participated in a lawsuit" in which he failed to disclose the whole truth, as he promised to. It's pretty strange to leave out the case that cost you your house. His failure to disclose a relevant case when questioned by the judge is inexplicable.

He also claimed during voire dire that he would set aside his understanding of the law from any past cases. Then he gave media interviews in which he talked about using his past, incorrect knowledge, told interviewers about doing things that were contrary to the court's instructions, and explained how he turned around the jury's verdict.

Oh, and he also claimed that the court only asked him about 10 years back to one interviewer: a claim that has proven to be inaccurate both due to that not having been said and due to another juror remembering a case older than that.
Yup, the HHKB is a sparkling gem in a landscape littered with garbage.

And for those of you without lots of money, the low-priced HHKB-lite models are also very nice (they have the same great layout and design, but more pedestrian components).

[I have two HHKB-lites, one from the '90s, another bought a few years ago (the former still working flawlessly).

In the landscape of computing, where most things seem obsolete overnight, it's also rather amazing that the HHKB has managed to stay in production for so long ... although it's clearly a bit of a niche product, it's been around in mostly the same form factor since the mid-90s! They're clearly doing something right!]
> EDIT: Personally I'm amazed they find so many patent holders and so few active Facebook users among the potential jurors.

I find that it helps explain the verdict, personally.

EDIT: Hey Cloven? You commented right below me, but all of your comments started going dead a couple months ago. I'm not sure why. They don't appear offensive.
To put it simply, class action lawsuits have never been a constitutional right in the US.

In fact, in the US the notion of class action lawsuits and the rules around them were completely imported into US law (in a very weird way) by the judiciary. Even then they were skeptical.

Wikipedia actually has a reasonable history of what happened here in the US (or at least, it is similar to what i learned in law school).

You aren't actually contracting away any constitutional rights here, which is one reason why they allow it (though you can actually contract away constitutional rights in some cases)

Even the binding arbitration part is allowed, as per the Federal Arbitration Act (which has been upheld several times).

You can appeal the arbitration, just not on most substantive grounds (which sucks, but c'est la vie).
They do both, but they have been moving towards a team package.
Despite our completely disjoint opinions of the devil's fruit, I tip my hat to you sir.
The supreme court started class actions in the US, the supreme court ended them (in practice).

In reality though, your problem is with Congress. This had nothing much to do with class action lawsuits, and everything to do with the federal arbitration act and whether it preempts state law. Congress could trivially fix this by adding two sentences to the law.
But if you're having to create lots of mock objects, that's a huge signal that your objects are tightly coupled, and that not only are you writing a bad test, you've written a bad subject-under-test.

Yes, you still have to write integration tests. But the discipline of testing your objects in isolation and outlining the objects they collaborate with is a major benefit of using test doubles, not a downside. If you can't reason about your objects in isolation, how can you expect to reason about them in aggregate?
Thanks for the feedback and directions.

I've just replied to the parent post with some discussion about how we differ in terms of features and technical approach.

We're also certainly cognizant of the price of our SDK. We hope that not too far down the road, we'll be able to spec out some cheaper hardware for our users.
This would be an incredible feature. Unfortunately, even within NFC the range of standards and encryption types across card types means you can't consistently do this.

Our NFC implementation is really the reverse of this - rather than beaming a code, you are reading an NFC tag to trigger your app to send the command.
Yes they are the same

Music subscription space is not profitable.
Agreed. Sure, there is some obvious upside for Microsoft (talent, code, international rights), but they don't need Rdio. Rdio, on the other hand, desperately needs Microsoft. It's a politically motivated rescue. Similar to the MOG acquisition.

We've toyed with the idea...
The crux is how you define "critical mass". Dalton originally defined it as 10k users. He basically said that with 10k users you can have an interesting Twitter-like service.

Others are quick to point out that it will never reach Twitter-scale. There will never be a point where 90% or probably even 50% of the people you think matter on Twitter today are on ADN.

It's pretty clearly destined to be somewhere in between, and the question becomes what utility can you get out of that? Obviously the breadth of Twitter's firehose data is off the table, but you also have a lot higher signal to noise ratio, the benefits of a smaller community, and a practical means to fend off the Eternal September.

Can ADN be useful without ubiquity? I'm hoping to test the theory that finding the right 200 people to follow on ADN will give me everything I got from Twitter and more, even if they are not the 200 most interesting people on Twitter.
Eh, we have other things as well. Meat for one. ;)

Maybe you could say that we are meaty pattern matching engines.

I don't disagree with any of this, just that it's all a lot of work and isn't always necessarily more desirable.

A lot of users don't understand section permalinks, fragments. Position: fixed severely constrains your design possibilities, and swapping out content just involves a lot more design and programming. And section headings are great, but getting your CMS to implement a mini-table-of-contents at the top/bottom of each page may involve a lot of programming too, and changing editorial processes, etc.

That's why I called pagination a kind of lowest-common-denominator solution that isn't great, but works. Clever programming can come up with better solutions in many cases, but they can be a much bigger pain in the butt to implement well, and there are often much more important priorities.

Taking existing websites and just getting rid of pagination isn't necessarily always an improvement.

When Twitter first started many people auto-followed back anyone who followed them. There were apps to make this easy; I never did, but it was pretty common and was how conversations would take place. Twitter dynamics have changed significantly since the time period he was talking about.
Google is a data company. Their best work is all around capturing, processing, and doing useful things with large amounts of data. This also happens to make them really good at doing targeted advertisements too.

In the criminal trial I served on (rape, kidnapping, theft, assault with a deadly weapon), I was not elected to be jury foreman, but asked to by the judge. The duties were pretty minimally specified, but mostly to be the point of contact with the judge. During deliberations I would attempt to keep our one pontificator from droning on by asking him a question about something he'd just said and then asking others the same question so as to keep all involved, and also ll feeling as if they'd been involved, without pissing anyone off - unhappy people often make rash decisions.

That is downright awesome! I love that it created a page for me right away so I didn't have to register.
I agree - the v1 product (no longer on the website as far as I know; it replaced the original deadbolt) simply looks sturdier. While this will tend to increase overall security since you'll any time when the door is unlocked and can always re-lock it remotely, it does unfortunately look a bit flimsy, despite not altering the original deadbolt.

Maybe that's just the renderings? Dunno, but something that looks a bit more industrial could well go a long way here. Kinda like having the login and password boxes on two different pages, common on banking websites: it accomplishes precisely nothing for actual security, but makes people who don't know any better feel safer.

Wait, what? It's way easier to make money by selling a product or service than it is by 'tracking customers and selling data.'

An individual's data is worth next-to-nothing. You have to accumulate huge audiences and keep the costs of whatever you're giving away ridiculously low to make that sort of business worthwhile - and both of those are really really hard.
So it would need wings that have ten? times more surface... that doesn't mean this couldn't be done using small scale drone designs.
I started to write my own version of this a while back but, it relied on some "server-side" work.

I had a daemon running inside my house which looked for my iPhone on the internal WiFi network. When my phone went off-line it signaled that I had "left" and after a certain duration went into "watch-to-unlock" mode. When my phone reappeared on my network I would signal to unlock.

I know you are probably trying to keep as much of the logic off the perimeter of your ecosystem (Phone App and in-home hardware) but, it was the best way I could figure it out.
You can still use your physical key (which is probably how you locked the door if you left without your phone)

>I think he touched on the real key to the long term music business which is embracing streaming and getting as many fans as possible to listen to your music and care enough to go to your shows. Any money a band makes from recorded music will forever be a bonus.

Why do people keep saying that? About the shows, I mean.

The reality is that most bands LOSE money on shows. Shows are historically a loss leader for record sales.

Apple Job Posting Hints At Major New System-On-A-Chip Design Effort
Off topic, but wow. Wordpress Svbtle? It's actually executed on quite well. I was fooled before noticing the subtle (no pun intended) difference in the Kudos icon shape. I do like the addition of comments, although it doesn't mesh well with the design.

That said, I'm not a big fan of stealing someone's design pixel for pixel. It definitely hurts the Svbtle brand when people mistake WP-Svbtle for Svbtle itself. I wonder what Dustin Curtis thinks.

I hadn't thought about only working on your own blockchain like that.

A piece I'm missing is the heuristic most clients use to determine "longest". Depending on how that works, this plan could be really easy or really hard.
I have similar troubles with the mobile application when in "low signal" environments. It should decide to swap to local or do a better job buffering, but having 1 bar is not going to sustain a stream.
While I may agree that the US should do more to encourage immigrant entrepreneurs, I do not think that the author chose a good openning example.

The author points to statistics about tech companies started by immigrants and presents Desai as part of the team that developed new technology, but Desai studied MBA and he was only doing an administrative job at IR Diagnostyx[0].

Moreover, the openning example does not seem to be precise; the author claims that Desai was not given an opportunity to start his business, which does not seem to be aligned with Desai being affiliated with IR Diagnostyx from 2009 to Feb 2012[1]. Furthermore, upon graduation in 2009, the US did give Desai 12 months of OPT[2], for which self-employment does qualify. In fact, if Desai had studied Science/Tech/Engineering/Math, he would have been give
an an extension of 17 months of OPT[3], for a total of ~2.5 years to work on his business.

Example 1: I'm assuming you mean users (instead of customers, since normally your customers are buying something from you and that's how you make money). If your users aren't buying things from you directly, appeals for donations and affiliate programs aren't as steady a stream of income as selling tracking data.

Example 2: I think this speaks to corporate management philosophy more than anything. If management philosophy of large corporations shifts towards empowering their employees and away from quantifying employee's productivity contributions, then it will be easier to sell software which empowers employees to do what they think is best.

Nullification is not tied to double jeopardy, but the _method_ by which it can happen is far more restricted in jurisdictions where a not guilty verdict can be appealed, as it requires that the jury is either entirely in agreement (nobody talks about the nullification) or that the issue is simply not brought up by jurors who wish to nullify just refuses to budge.

What's great about the Kinect is that it lets developers go after "3D computer vision" problems rather than "2D vision."

There's a wealth of techniques from computer graphics on dealing with 3D point clouds, whereas even basic things like background subtraction are still hard (and not completely robust) in the 2D vision world.
You don't need to have to have your music reach a million people to make a living as a musician. The Grateful Dead for example had fans that numbered in the thousands, but those fans were actual fanatics that went to every concert and bought every piece of paraphernalia. Most artists today don't understand that model. They think success is about topping charts.
Their 'web player' service exists, but is terrible. If it was at a low price (which, let's face it, it may well be) it might be worth snapping up Rdio just to get some attention given to their music web presence.

I have no idea if that is actually doing anything, but it seems to work sometimes.
